very pretty snake. I was at the store the other day and the guy handed me a snake he said was pied, but it didn't have the white like this. I assume pied doesn't mean they have the white, but they sometimes have the white?
Sometimes the 'low grade' pieds won't have the large white rings around the body like this one. They can be simple with just a couple small rings or some can even just have irregular white flaming up the sides.
The other giveaway is the more orange tinted color and the patterning you see on the non white areas.
If it looked more like a normal ball python maybe they misspoke and forgot to say "het for" pied. Which in that case is a normal looking snake that is carrying the gene to make pied banies
